couchdb's ruby libraries are hampered by Net:HTTP slowness

Hi everyone,

I did some profiling and benchmarking on couchdb and ruby, and found out 
that connecting via couchrest was abnormally slow, and found that 
Net::HTTP appears to be at fault.

This is relevant for building production-quality ruby http clients to 
interface with couchdb.

Here's my full writeup:

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Ben
